Bachelor of Science (Data Science)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationOver the past decade there has been an explosion in the amount of data captured from mobile phones, the internet, sensors and instruments. Capturing this data is big business, but how do we make sense of it all? That’s where you come in.
Learn to integrate and apply statistical and computational principles to solve real-world problems with large-scale data science, and set yourself up for the career of the future. In this major you’ll develop a strong foundation in the statistical aspects of data analysis (data collection, data mining, modelling and inference) and the principles of computer science (algorithms, data structures, data management and machine learning).
